Well it depends on what kind of acid you're talking about. Most people think of acids as hydrogen donating compounds and that is indeed one type of acid. It fits under the Bronsted-Lowry definition of an acid and under the Arrhenius definition (which says that acids are compounds that dissociate in water into hydrogen ions etc.). However, under the Lewis definition, an acid is anything that can accept an electron pair and it doesn't have to contain hydrogen.
